London
(ANI):
Marilyn
Monroe
was
an
enigma,
but
a
series
of
her
pictures
in
her
most
intimate
moments
discovered
recently
has
made
the
sex
symbol
less
of
a
mystery.
According
to
the
Telegraph,
more
than
100
such
black
and
white
images
shot
by
John
Vachon,
on
assignment
for
LOOK
magazine
at
the
time
during
the
summer
of
1953
are
disclosed
in
a
new
book
'Marilyn:
August
1953:
The
Lost
LOOK
Photos".
A
picture
showing
Monroe
with
crutches
was
taken
by
a
swimming
pool
in
Alberta,
Canada,
where
Monroe
was
filming
'River
of
No
Return" with
Robert
Mitchum.
In
another
of
the
pictures,
a
comically
frightened-looking
Monroe
is
in
the
clutches
of
a
taxidermy
bear.
The
book
will
also
feature
photos
of
Monroe
and
then
fiance,
baseball
legend
Joe
DiMaggio
snuggling
and
riding
a
ski
lift.

million
photograph-
archive
